Each of the rotating rollers has its own micromotor, which allows you to select the intensity of the effect on subcutaneous fat tissue in accordance with the characteristics of the figure, skin condition and individual sensitivity of the patient.
Problem areas of the body can be treated in the following modes:
- “roll in” - to reduce their volume;
- “roll up” - to eliminate puffiness and destroy cellulite;
- “roll out” - to restore skin elasticity and firmness.
Endermolift on an LPG massage machine ensures uniform treatment of the subcutaneous fat layer to a precisely specified depth. If the patient complains of discomfort, the doctor promptly adjusts the treatment parameters.
The vacuum manipulator moves very easily and smoothly over a special suit made of the finest translucent white fabric. This makes the LPG massage procedure as comfortable as possible.
Unusual name of the procedure
The name of this type of massage comes from the initials of the founder of the method, Louis Paul Huthe - LPG. He came up with a device that in 1973 helped him cope with post-traumatic scars that appeared on the cosmetologist’s body after an accident. Of course, there was no talk of any procedures similar to those carried out on a similar device today. Later, when the effectiveness of this method in combating scars and other irregularities on the skin was proven, other possibilities for using the device began to be considered, in particular, the ability to model the figure and prevent aging of the skin on the face and décolleté.
Advantages of hardware-vacuum massage
In addition to those already listed, it is worth mentioning:
- safety and effectiveness;
- visible results after the first procedure;
- deep penetrating effect not only on the skin, but also on the muscles;
- fat breakdown
- removal of toxins along with liquid;
- universality of the method
- long term result
In conclusion, I would like to add that when choosing a clinic for lpg massage, you should focus not only on the cost of the procedure, but also on the qualifications of the specialist and proven devices that have been tested and have the necessary certificates. Take care of your health, we will help you.
Types of endermology
In medicine, there are 4 types of LPG massage:
- Aesthetic. This is an effect on the skin for the purpose of lifting it, modeling contours, eliminating unevenness, including orange peel.
- Lipomassage. The goal is to combat fat deposits – these include local ones.
- Therapeutic. Helps get rid of muscle and back pain (for example, with rheumatism, radiculitis, osteochondrosis, etc.), accelerate the scarring of wounds resulting from burns and injuries.
- Sports. Professional athletes often resort to it after hard training and competitions to disperse the lactic acid accumulated in the muscles and tone the muscles; accelerate the healing of damaged tendons and muscles.
General information
In 1986, the French company LPG systems invented and patented a technology for multidimensional effects on soft tissues called enderomology. Massage based on this technique allows you to influence the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis (fatty tissue under the skin) using a combination of vacuum, vibration massage and the mechanical action of rotating rollers.
This massage ensures the active production of fibroblasts, which, in turn, intensively produce elastin and collagen, which ensure skin tone. In addition, such an effect normalizes metabolic processes, lymph flow, blood circulation, helps remove accumulated fluid and reduce swelling.
Currently, the developments of the LPG systems company are used everywhere; the unique massage technique has received approval from the American Quality Control Department.
Indications for LPG massage
The range of action of the device and its ability to combat skin problems are wide, so the list of problems for which such a massage is effective is extensive:
- the presence of excess fat deposits, including spot fat;
- manifestations of cellulite, stretch marks (particularly after childbirth);
- swelling;
- stagnation in the body - often they are a consequence of a sedentary lifestyle;
- scars, burns and other skin defects;
- pain in muscles and joints, including after intense exercise or as a result of developing illness;
- loose skin, decreased turgor, signs of skin aging on the face, décolleté, and hands;
- swollen facial contour, double chin, drooping eyelids, etc.
As you can understand from the list of indications, LPG massage can be done on any part of the body.
Price
Lipomassage in the capital's cosmetology clinic is estimated at 1000 - 3000 rubles per procedure. The exact cost consists of the following factors: the type of equipment used (there are devices not only from LPG systems, but also from other manufacturers), the qualifications of the cosmetologist, as well as the prestige of the establishment itself. In addition, you will need to pay for a special suit; on average, its price is 800-1000 rubles.
It is necessary to take into account that the procedure is carried out in a course of approximately 10 - 20 sessions, which means that the total cost will be from 10 to 30 thousand rubles. Usually, when paying for the full course, clients are provided with favorable discounts.
The essence of LPG massage
A similar massage is carried out using high-tech equipment (by the way, only serious cosmetology centers and clinics can afford it), equipped with an unusual handpiece and aspiration (vacuum) system.
The handpiece has mechanical massage rollers that rotate in different directions and at different speeds. The combination of working rollers and vacuum allows the roller to capture the skin fold and effectively act on fibroblasts located both in the superficial and deeper layers of the dermis.
Operating principle of LPG
As a result, the subcutaneous fat in the treated area is subjected to active massage, the intensity of which can be adjusted depending on the problem and the individual characteristics of the patient. This happens automatically, since the professional device is equipped with a computerized complex with customizable parameters.
Depending on the situation, endermology can be either a relaxing or an intense procedure. In many ways, such a massage is similar to a classic manual massage, and the action of the rollers can be compared to the manipulations of the hands of a professional massage therapist. The difference is that LPG massage is carried out much faster, and it is also possible to select a mode depending on the problem and characteristics of the patient’s skin.
What effect should you expect from a massage?
The effectiveness of LPG massage has been proven repeatedly. Many girls and women around the world are satisfied with the results and recommend this procedure to everyone who may need it or find it useful. However, those who have not encountered it do not know what results can be achieved. Even if you see these most colossal changes on your friend, you will hardly believe that this miracle device did it.
So that you can verify its effectiveness, check out the list below, which details what effects you can really expect from lymphatic drainage massage.
- The skin becomes soft and smooth, like a baby's. You will feel it after just a few procedures. Usually this effect can be achieved by body scrubbing and manual massage with a brush, but in these cases the result is short-lived. If we talk about LPG massage, the result lasts for a very long time and only sometimes requires a repeat session.
- Cellulite disappears without a trace . And here we are talking not only about cellulite of the first or second stage. Lymphatic drainage massage can completely remove cellulite even in the most advanced cases.
- Your skin becomes tightened . Skin laxity is a common problem for many girls and most often women in adulthood. Fortunately, this problem can be easily solved with lymphatic drainage massage. The skin immediately becomes taut and elastic, as in the best young years. Moreover, this massage will help tighten the skin after significant weight loss. But if you have lost more than 40 kilograms, this will be difficult. In such cases, excess skin is removed surgically.
- The swelling goes away and you visually become thinner . Edema is the main enemy of girls. Even with low weight, a slender and pumped-up girl can swell so much that visually she will look as if she has gained several good kilograms. Lymphatic drainage massage relieves girls and women from swelling, making them look even thinner and more attractive.
- If you have injuries, scars, stretch marks - all this will become invisible on your skin. Of course, if you look closely, you will still see small scars, but they can only be removed with laser resurfacing. But lymphatic drainage massage can correct stretch marks that everyone dislikes and make them almost invisible.
Sometimes just losing weight is not enough to look your best. Many girls and women, even slender and thin ones, suffer from swelling, cellulite and other figure problems. This and many other problems are solved by lymphatic drainage massage. Doctors and specialists around the world have repeatedly stated that LPG massage can be called one of the best alternative methods in the fight against cellulite and other problems.
You don't have to undergo surgery to get rid of excess layers of subcutaneous fat or folds - massage will solve all this. Have you heard about this procedure? Share your impressions below in the comments!
LPG facial massage
To massage the skin on the face and décolleté, the same device is used, but with a handpiece equipped with wings. Thanks to them, it works more gently and delicately than body attachments. The principle of action of the manipule: the wings lightly pinch the skin, carrying out three types of effects: drainage (increasing lymph and blood flow in the tissues), smoothing the skin, restoration. In order to treat the skin around the mouth and eyes, there are separate nozzles that work even more delicately.

Possibility of doing it at home
Since LPG massage in a salon is expensive, many girls are interested in whether it is possible to perform the procedure at home. Yes it is possible. However, it should be borne in mind that to implement the technique you will need an LPG device, which is heavy and expensive. However, in the long term, such a solution will cost you less than periodic visits to the salon. You can learn how to do LPG massage yourself using videos, of which there are quite a lot on the Internet. These videos clearly demonstrate the process of performing the procedure: stroking, pressing and wave-like movements.
To perform a massage at home, as in a salon, you need to purchase a special suit. The latter is intended not only to provide psychological comfort when the procedure is performed by a specialist, but also for some other purposes:
- treatment even of those areas of the body that are covered with hairs;
- minimizing the risk of damage to the dermis,
- simplification of skin capture by the device.
When choosing a suit, pay attention to the following criteria:
- Seam strength. Check the latter carefully to ensure that your suit lasts as long as possible.
Be sure to check the strength of the seams of the suit by pulling it over your arm.
- Size. Everything is simple here. Choose a suit one size larger than your everyday clothes.
- Elasticity of the material. The latter should fit snugly to the body.
At first, when performing LPG massage at home, it is recommended to ask people close to you to monitor the process and help if necessary. With experience, you will understand how to implement the technique to avoid pain and side effects, and to achieve maximum results.
Carrying out a massage
Since the effect will be noticeable after a course of procedures (usually 10 or more), at the first visit, the specialist determines the nature of the problem and the number of necessary sessions, which are carried out once or twice a week.
The procedure itself lasts from half an hour to 45-50 minutes, depending on which area of the body is exposed.
Very often, aesthetic LPG massage is combined with other cosmetic procedures, for example, mesotherapy, myostimulation, manual massage, anti-cellulite wraps, etc.

Which is better: cavitation or LP massage, which method to choose - the answer to these questions depends on the tasks. At an appointment with a specialist, you should assess the risks in order to correctly approach the elimination of the problem of excess weight.
Rehabilitation
As such, there is no rehabilitation period required after LPG massage. In the first hours (with very sensitive skin in the first day) after the procedure, redness and slight swelling of the skin may be observed, which go away on their own.
The patient’s task is to maintain water balance in the body, which requires drinking 2.5-3 liters of clean water per day after the massage. After a body massage, it is not recommended to eat for 3 hours. Otherwise, there are no restrictions: you can immediately apply cosmetics to your face, go outside and sunbathe, visit the sauna, etc.
Possible complications and side effects
Every therapy has some side effects. For LPG massage they are:
- swelling, redness of the skin - quickly disappear on their own;
- bruises, hemorrhages are an infrequent phenomenon, and if the massage is performed correctly, most likely it will not even appear;
Bruising and bruising are uncommon side effects. - pain - if it is felt at the very beginning of the session and then quickly passes, there is no need to worry. However, if they are observed until the very end of the procedures, and during each of them, you need to let the specialist know about it. Here one of two things: either the mechanical impact is too intense, or the body is too sensitive to it;
Patients usually do not feel pain - slight chills, fever, both in the first hours after the procedure - this means there is vegetative-vascular dystonia. You can simply relax and drink herbal tea.
Whatever the side effects that appear, the patient must immediately report them to the specialist: then he will be able to adjust the course of therapy.
You should report any side effects to your doctor.
Contraindications for LPG massage
They exist, and you should definitely tell your doctor about them (if present) in order to prevent future health problems:
- problems with blood circulation, including varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, etc.;
- oncological, dermatological, infectious, chronic (in the acute stage), endocrine diseases;
- pregnancy (in exceptional cases, the advisability of massage must be discussed with your doctor).
It is not recommended to perform LPG massage while breastfeeding or in the first days of menstruation.
Preliminary preparation
Lipomassage does not require special preliminary preparation, but before the first session it is a good idea to attend an introductory consultation. On it, the doctor examines the patient, determines possible contraindications and the condition of his skin, and carries out basic diagnostics in order to identify:
- weight;
- volumes;
- the most problematic points, as well as areas that are not recommended to be touched.
Based on the results of the data obtained, the doctor draws up a treatment regimen and frequency. Before the first session, the patient is usually photographed to be able to determine the results at the end of the course.
